The last edition crowned Aisha Bello, who stunned judges with her poise and community projects. Aisha’s platform focuses on education for girls in rural areas, which gave her extra points beyond looks. The runners‑up also made headlines—Chinyere Okafor walked away with a modeling contract, while Kemi Adeyemi secured a scholarship.
What made this year different? Social media voting played a bigger role, and contestants used TikTok challenges to show personality. Fans loved seeing behind‑the‑scenes footage of rehearsals, makeup trials, and charity work. The finale was streamed live on YouTube, drawing over 300 k viewers from Nigeria and the diaspora.

You can also catch live broadcasts on national TV channel NTA or stream it via the Miss Universe website. If you miss the live show, full episodes are uploaded to YouTube within 24 hours, so binge‑watch at your own pace.
For deeper insight, read interviews on local blogs like Pulse Nigeria. They often feature Q&A sessions where queens discuss their future plans, training routines, and the pressure of representing a whole country.
Thinking about entering the competition? The application window opens in March. Applicants need to submit a short video essay, photos, and proof of community involvement. The judges look for confidence, intelligence, and how well you can speak English and local languages.
Training camps start a month after auditions. Contestants work on public speaking, stage walk, and fitness. If you’re serious, consider joining a local pageant coach—many former queens run workshops in Lagos and Abuja.
The Miss Universe brand also offers scholarships to winners who want to study abroad. Aisha Bello used her prize to enroll in a fashion design program in Italy, showing how the crown can open doors beyond modeling.
Fans love voting for their favorite dress designs during the pre‑pageant week. The “Best National Costume” segment showcases Nigeria’s rich cultural heritage—think vibrant Ankara fabrics and modern twists on traditional patterns.
Finally, don’t forget to support the contestants’ charitable causes. Many set up donation pages for education, health, or environmental projects. Your small contribution can amplify their impact and earn you extra points if you’re voting in audience categories.
Miss Universe Nigeria isn’t just about crowns; it’s a platform for empowerment, culture, and global exposure. Keep an eye on the official channels, join the conversation online, and enjoy the excitement each year brings.
